Who have you kicked out this time?

[A Face like Thunder]

Bees and flies, they must be encouraged by our daffodils which are in full bloom in the front garden. They're a hardy bunch as well, so should continue to bloom unless we get significant snow on the ground.

Very possible; probably the only time it will be seen this winter.........

[Thunder Snow]

Alittle drunk tonight can someone sum up the latest chart round please 

[Scuba steve]

To sum up Floyd comfortably numb

[Rush2019]

A cold one at Shap -5°C, screenshot just before 5am.  Frosty here in Macc, although window ledge remains wet. -0.5°C at 4.30am.

[Cheshire Freeze]

-1.7C here

[Weather-history]

Starry night. Down to -3.1°C before clouds moved in. Why couldn't the aurora show its beauty with these conditions?

 

 

[Iceaxecrampon]

Snow Ribblehead. NE flow. 

[severe snowstorm]

Nice to see the return of the frosty mornings, got down to -1.4C a couple of hours back, but since risen to -0.3C.

[Dan B]

-3.7ºC here overnight; still -1.5ºC now

 

Everywhere is frozen hard; cars are like royal icing and the cats disapproved of it when they went out at 0650 and tried to do a u-turn mid air as I was closing the door behind them

Another lovely frosty morning with the sun just about to show itself above the high ground to our east so it’s time for a quick brew before a swift couple of hours walk.

just watched the BBC forecast and it shows the chance of wintry showers and settling snow across higher parts of the south east on Monday.

good luck to them but I hope that the Mad Thread have got the emergency chairs and outside catering sorted as it’s going to be awfully busy playing hunt the flake in there

here the Met are saying chance of a few flurries over high ground from the east so i am high enough and east enough.

I think it will certainly be cold enough.

Morning all.

Just woke up and looked out of the window expecting frost and frozen cars. No frost and slightly wet. On closer inspection,  tiny snow flakes are falling occasionally. 

Checked radar and its the dregs fron the NE.

Just damp and sunny 1.4c chilly… up half an hour ago… off to footy at midday… kick off at 2pm ️️️️

[jimben]

Currently -5.1c which is also minimum temperature for the day. Thick frost. Cloudless blue skies. Beautiful.

Mixture of despondency and SE nowcasting on the MAD thread. Do they realise they have their own regional thread? IBERIAN HEIGHTS being mentioned a lot. I'm pretty sure that's what @Kasim Awan was warning them about and he was on the verge of being lynched a couple of day's ago?

[Joe Snow]

Nice frosty Sunday morning down to -1c overnight. Signs of a backtrack on the cold spell on the models? For the south yes maybe but think we might stay on the cold side of things with transient snowfall risks as blocking eases late month. Lots to be resolved perhaps one of the more exhausting chases of recent years. Will be interesting to see any changes in the wording of the MO update later but think they will come tomorrow if models continue to delay & dilute the potency of any cold. Let’s see what this week brings.

The other side of the coin is why has northwestsnow reduced himself to inhabiting the model thread these days? He hardly posts in this thread anymore. With all due respect to him, he needs to come out of there and post in here more. Help to freshen his mind and calm his nerves...lol.

Another harsh frost, however last night's fog has quickly cleared 

[severe snowstorm]

A nice chilly morning here, quite a bit of cloud cover first thing, but the sun is now shining. Currently 1.4C with ground frost still in place.

It certainly is downbeat in the mod thread this morning. I'm certainly not feeling downbeat though, a week of mostly dry weather with variable amounts of sunshine looms for my location and below average temps with frost by night. I'm more than happy with that for the time being. No point obsessing with snow potential days away, chance of snow can crop up at relatively short notice once the cold is in place.

The possibility of some flurries of snow for Eastern parts of our region overnight.

[iand61]

Occasional tiny flurries of snow from a rogue cloud while I was out walking but that is as good as it got with most what is on offer a few miles to my south.

slippy underfoot but the positive is that the muddy lanes have frozen up a bit so it’s cleaner if nothing else.
